# Token Allocation
> The original 10 billion SOPH allocation and vesting schedule
SOPH launched with an original issuance of **10 billion tokens** across seven allocation buckets. The percentages below are calculated against that original issuance, not the live supply after permanent token burns.
| Category | Original tokens | Original allocation | Published vesting terms |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------: | ------------------: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Node Operators / Guardians | 2,000,000,000 | 20% | Rewards earned from January 1, 2025 through TGE had a three-month cliff from TGE. Each weekly reward after TGE had a three-month cliff from the start of its week, followed by seven-day linear vesting. |
| Seed Investors | 1,800,000,000 | 18% | 12-month cliff, then two-year linear vesting. |
| Core Contributors | 2,500,000,000 | 25% | 12-month cliff, then three-year linear vesting. |
| Ecosystem Reserve | 2,600,000,000 | 26% | 42% unlocked; the remaining 58% subject to five-year linear vesting. |
| Post-Mainnet Liquidity Mining | 200,000,000 | 2% | Six-month cliff, then six-month linear vesting. |
| Pre-Mainnet Liquidity Mining Airdrop | 600,000,000 | 6% | Fully unlocked at TGE. |
| Bonus Airdrop | 300,000,000 | 3% | Fully unlocked at TGE. |
## Guardian allocation transition
The Guardian programme continues to distribute a pro-rata share of its original **2 billion SOPH allocation over three years**. The light-node software has been retired, and operating software, maintaining uptime, and delegating a Guardian NFT are no longer reward requirements.
Current reward streams continue vesting on Sophon through **September 29, 2026 at 00:00 GMT**. New rewards then accrue on Ethereum. Sophon has announced that Guardian NFTs will be recreated on Ethereum automatically in the same holder wallet.

## Historical allocation context
* The pre-mainnet liquidity-mining allocation related to the Ethereum L1 Farm before the Sophon mainnet launch in December 2024.
* The post-mainnet allocation related to the L2 Farm, which has ended.
* The bonus airdrop covered early Sophon users and community members, Guardian holders, ZKsync power users, and selected NFT communities.
* The seed-investor, contributor, reserve, farming, and airdrop entries above retain their originally published labels and terms for reference.
